  1. Brian, yes, it's square's register. You also have a dashboard where you can find daily, weekly and yearly reports.
  2. Well congratulations Larry! I'll look it up latter, I hope they got some good footage!
  3. Nice haul Edward and a nice display!
  4. I've been using square for several years now without any problems. I use my iPad with a hotspot. I use the iPad just like a register, I enter every sale, cash or credit. That way I I keep track of everything including my starting drawer. I even have a cash drawer. The larger screen of the iPad is easier to read for me and the customers. I can pull up reports at anytime to see how I'm doing, and at the end of the day it will tell me how I did and what should be in my cash drawer.
  5. Don, you can't do that with the UR blades as they have two teeth pointing down and one up the whole lenght of the blade. You can't feel which is up or down.That is why they place the crimp on the top of the blade!
  6. You are so right Dan! I always bring several completed projects to display. I try to bring a wide assortment of projects to show what can be done on a scroll saw.
  7. It's a five hour class with a 1/2 hour break for lunch. I start with basics like the saw features and operation. Then blade selection, tension, saw speed and feed rate. We start cutting straight lines, curved lines, then lines with angled inside and outside turns, all in 3/4" pine.We then move on to heart shapes, and heart shapes with an inside cut. Then a Teddy Bear with three inside cuts. These easy shapes came from an old Patrick Spielman book. I no longer have that book, just cut out pages, so I can't tell you the name. I find using 3/4 pine easy to start with for begginer students and it's inexpensive. We then move on to a project in 1/2" hardwood. Usually wood that I have laying around in my shop. This class I had Cherry, Walnut, Mahopny and Sapele. It's a project with lots of inside and out lines and one inside cut. It's from the same book and they have the option to have an 1-3/8 hole drilled for a mini clock fit up. The final project is a Steve Good clock that has six inside cuts. I demonstrate each project and explain how to make each cut with lots of tips. Keeping the class down to 4 or 5 allows for individual attention to each student.
  8. I don't know Sam. I don't actually work for Woodcraft. I'm just an instructor at this store. If I were to guess I'd say no.You can order them from Seyco.
  9. Thanks Danny. You and I go way back to the beginning of Steve Good's forum.
  10. Nice display Rob! No wonder you did so well!
  11. I have both 120 and 220. The 120 is rarely used and the 220 is so worn, I need to refill it!
  12. Not to mention the blade will want to pull the workpiece up off the table!
  13. I taught a class today at the Woodcraft Store. Usually the student capacity is four because there are only four student saws, but one guy was desperate to get in he was willing to bring in his own saw. He is the owner of a woodworking shop and wanted to learn how to use his saw. One student doesn't have a saw and has no intention of buying one. He saw my demonstration in September and wanted the experience of learning how to use a scroll saw!
  14. Looking good Pete!
  15. Hey Larry, what is the problem with your saw? How do you know it's the motor? give us more information!
  16. How did you make it to 77 Jerry?
  17. I guess you gotta to what you gotta do!
  18. Those are nice Dan!
  19. Amazing work Steve!
  20. Looks good Rob!
  21. Hey Don, I use FD Polar blades. For 1-1/2" pine either a number 5 or 7 will do you nicely.
  22. Nice work Dan!
  23. Nice work Dave, love the finish!
  24. Nice work Dan, they look "Cool"!
